Thanks for posting. I live in Toledo and hate pulling my boat to Mazuriks if I don't have to. Seems most of the people posting here think the Western basin starts at the Bass Islands so hard to find out how far east i really have to go. Talked to a friend the other day who did a charter out of Meinkes West. Went out almost 15 miles North and a bit east of the intake and got 17 eyes between 5 guys trolling spoons and a couple of Bandits on big boards. I will head out tomorrow and hope for no rain. Will post how I do. As far as the cost of towing a boat or docking, and boat gas money all I can say is "Fishing is the most expensive free meal you will ever eat"!
